The Kentucky State Police is investigating a fatal accident on the Bluegrass Parkway Saturday.
According to the KSP, a trooper with KSP Post Four responded to a two-vehicle collision near the 13-mile marker on the parkway at around 5:45 p.m. on August 30.
The KSP says the preliminary investigation indicates a 17-year-old male from Cox Creek was driving west on the parkway when for unknown reasons his vehicle crossed the median and went into the path of an eastbound vehicle driven by Patrick Reed of Bardstown.
The juvenile driver was pronounced dead at the scene by the Nelson County Coroner’s Office. Reed and two passengers were transported to the University of Louisville Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The eastbound lane on the Bluegrass Parkway was closed until about 10:30 p.m. Saturday for accident reconstruction. The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
